On the order of a second or two.
That doesn't seem all that significant to me; I guess we have different
measures (to me "significantly slow down the boot process" would be
something on the order of 5-10 seconds or more).
How much detail would you like for the
second question?
Well, it seems like 1-2 seconds is a long time just to check, but that
was a rhetorical question.
